Cookware
chef's knife · citrus juicer (optional) · colander · cutting board · grater · measuring cups · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · nonstick skillet · spatula · whisk or fork
Directions
- Whisk the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, melt a bit of butter over low heat, then whisk the butter with the eggs and milk until smooth.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, pour in the wet mixture, and whisk to form a smooth batter.
- Wash and dry the lemon, then zest and juice it directly into the batter, whisking gently to avoid overworking.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of butter, swirled to coat the surface.
- Pour batter in 1/4-cup portions and cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook until golden on the other side.
- While pancakes cook, slice the strawberries if needed and keep ready to top the plates along with maple syrup.
- Serve the pancakes topped with more butter, the sliced strawberries, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Two tips
- Prep the strawberries ahead: wash, trim, and slice them, then refrigerate until use.
- Leftovers can be reheated briefly in a skillet; serve with extra strawberries and a little maple syrup.
